Truck didnt mind. Problem was being cut off several times and really hammering the brakes. Think front rotors are hurt. But that 6.2 does well pulling. Did 90 most of the way.Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

The Cobra is fairly stock. Billet idlers, 2.8" (I think), diff cover brace, K-member brace, H-pipe, exhaust, CAI and a custom tune as well as 315s out back. Tomorrow I am installing the fan cooled Afco heat exchanger, ice box and MGW shifter. Did a Spec Stage 3+ clutch and lighter flywheel today as well as some ET streets.
Shop that rebuilt the trans did a crap job on the clutch so it blew up on my first drive. Wasnt even tightened down, throw ou bearing split, pivot ball smashed and the clutch fork cracked. I wondered why the car was so cheap cause its super clean in and out. The clutch answered my question. lolGood judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Was stuck in traffic so much too that by the end I was just ready to ge home and truck still didnt strain doing over 100.

However, I really hope you're exaggerating with the claims I highlighted above. Otherwise, you're a moron of epic proportions. That truck is squatting big time and apparently you're not aware of how that can affect steering and control going down the highway at speed. Also, you could have loaded that car a little further forward on the trailer. I'm surprised you didn't have trailer sway. You just sound like foolish blowhard at this point.
If you damaged your front rotors on a truck and trailer with trailer brake controller/e-brakes, then that means you were driving like an aggressive asshole.

I would also point out that the picture was taken 5 minutes after loading the car. I was in that lot just to move the car back about 10" which leveled the truck a tad more but it still could use bags. More so when I load the Benz on it for the Half Mile next month.
Thanks for your input though. It will be taken under advisement and management will get back with you.Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Nice Car, Love that color.
100+ with a trailer is driving like an asshole. Make all the excuses you want.
Don't take off drop shackle, add bags. Much Better I have bags with daystar cups, deaver springs, etc and it rides tits but still tows well.
Again nice car and truck.
